LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - November 21, 2007) - The Airbus A380 -- the world's largest
airliner -- is scheduled to revisit the U.S. West Coast when it lands at
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at 11:45 a.m. Pacific Time on
Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2007. The visit is being conducted by Airbus, Qantas
Airways and Los Angeles World Airports to test airport function and
compatibility in anticipation of Qantas' A380 passenger service at LAX,
which is scheduled to begin Fall 2008.

After landing on Runway 25 Left on the south side of LAX, the aircraft will
taxi to the Flight Path Learning Center in the LAX Imperial Terminal at
6661 West Imperial Highway. NO ceremony is scheduled for the arrival. This
is a media opportunity only.

Media are invited to tour the interior of the fully configured 500-seat
Airbus aircraft between 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Airbus has limited media access to
112 tickets to be distributed on a first come-first served basis during
this hour. Initially, each media outlet will be limited to one tour ticket,
with the exception of television media, which will be limited to two
tickets (reporter and cameraperson). This is to ensure that each media
outlet interested in touring the interior has an opportunity to have a
representative do so.

On Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will
conduct an early-morning media availability on the tarmac and then go
onboard to greet passengers invited by Qantas and Airbus to participate in
a demonstration flight over Southern California. The demonstration flight
will have approximately 150 guests plus media pool onboard. The flight will
depart at 7:30 a.m. and return at 9:30 a.m.

On Friday, Nov. 30, the aircraft will depart as Flight No. MSN 007 on
Runway 25 Left to Sydney, Australia, piloted by a joint Airbus-Qantas
flight crew.
